not just something that passes and we internalize it literally, and so if you can get back to the root of that, to the original problem, than you can discharge it of it’s emotional, you know, power.

JO:
You could clear yourself of this influence, that’s what they call it
OH:
Not the knowledge of it, but the charge involved, and it no longer affects
your current

JO:
And they’re (inaudible) from what you’re telling me, correct me if I’m wrong,
that they would also digress into your past lives to clear problems

OH:
Yeah, I had really, at that point in time, when we were talking about it, that
wasn’t a subject, that came up much later in conversation between Lisa and I.
My concern at the time, which I voiced, was I said, “well, who are these people
who are doing this?” “who are these auditors?”, right, there are trained auditors
inside Scientology, they’re not psychologists, they’re not doctors, and because we, we had a lot of events in our life, and in our earlier lives that were difficult, I said, “well, so what happens if you put this away, because it was just too much to deal with, so what happens if you’re in this auditing session and this person who has no, as far I was concerned, formal training, gets you to a place that you can’t handle, I mean,

SF:
Emotional
OH:
Our brains protect us, right, from things, and so I said, “so what happens?”
“well, we know how to handle that, we know how to deal with that, we know exactly the right questions to ask to get you there, and out safely, and whatever”.

SF:
Was Lisa ever an auditor?
CH:
I don’t believe so, although I’m not sure about that. I know there was a time
in Dallas when she was working at the mission, and uh, or church, and I remember her mother commenting to me that Lisa thought she was a great counselor. Now, I don’t know whether she was an, urn, you know, someone up front that she was, you know, more in a position of telling people about the process and the good parts of it or whether she was actually was actually doing auditing. I don’t believe she ever did any auditing.

SF:
Okay. And the people that did the auditing, it’s your understanding from
what Lisa told you, is that those are people that are specifically trained by Scientologists to take you to this station of clear.

CH:
That is correct.
